under $500 bail, and failing 10 procure
any one to so his security, was commit
ted to Belair Jail to await the action Of
the grand jury and placed in the custody
of the sheriff, who took him to Belair on

ing was an affecting one. His wife beg
eed that the haudcutlS be taken off, but

riage was quiet one, the juveniles were
not to kept in the dark when there was
a chance of showing the strength of their
lungs, SO when our happy couple reached
the residence of the bride large number
was concealed beneath the shrubbery and
no sooner were our friends within the
dwelling than the calithumpians emerged
from their hiding places and went to
work in earnest. On the appearance of
the bride and groom the racket ceased
and after three rouSing cheers for the
happy young couple the crowd dispersed.
The bride and groom then repaired to the
